Hey everyone, I'm not so sure about this...but does anybody actually know what all the actors names in VX are supposed to be? I know of like...Ralph, Ulrika, Ylva, Oscar, Elmer, Vera, Lawrence, and Bennett. Are those really the only names given to us, because that also seems to be the only cast of characters generally used in script samples and such. Hm hm hm, just something I've often pondered...lol.
Uh... Change them. duh
Yeah, that's it for the default actors. You want different names, you have to change them yourself.
I think I was misunderstood, I don't actually NEED them, I said I was merely curious...Thought maybe all the actors had names. Well, thanks, I guess.
I see what you mean... I don't know if they all have names... but I know that Ralph used to be Alex (or, at least, it looks like the same person...) and I think it is just whatever the translator wanted to put in there...
I think that only the "default actor" characters "have names" but the rest are just numbers and labels... Technically, I believe, "Ralph" is Actor1-1 or something... not really ralph... I mean.. I don't know what I mean...
But no, only the ones you have seen have specific names assigned to them, official or not.
Eh, I believe Alex is the Actor 1 of 2003. But, I guess I can see why you'd think they're the same, I suppose. I remember seeing some old pictures before where each actor had their own file and it held 8 expressions. Ralph and Elmer are really just recycled RPG Maker characters in general. Looked like it was 2000 or lower. So, I don't think they're supposed to be the same character. *Shrugs*
meh... I was completely basing that assumption off of memory... but I only used the old versions for a total of a week or two (illegally, legasp!) before buying VX, or rather, my brother-in-law did...rs
Speaking of which, I liked the actors much better when they had a choice of each actor class being male or female...
Ah, well...I started on 2003 to be honest. I spent minimal time on XP, and VX is really awesome in my eyes. I like the ease of events and all that. I know what you mean, but eh...it doesn't matter, it's still up to you in the end. The thing about XP that I think should have been kept was the fact that the curves were set by class, not actor. I usually just give people who are supposed to be the same class the same curve anyways...that's a tad annoying...but I can deal.
Well VX actually has it's actors divided by types in a way... I always considered all characters on Actor 1 to be Warrior type characters, Actor 2 as Mage/Cleric type characters, and Actor 3 as Rogue/Miscellaneous characters. This is also a trend of all RPGMakers. I also think that it is a trend for the "Main" character of all the RPGMakers to have Reddish/Orange/Brown hair by default. Just because "Hot-head hero" is very canon, and red-head = hot-head.

I noticed that too... Ralph, Arshes (who I am not), Alex, etc.
All of them are warriors (or in the case of 2k3, in which the battler was referred to as "fighter").
Arshes looks like a young and confused hero, though... the other two look like adults. Maybe it's the art style.
Oh yeah, well, I think that's a trend between main characters for RPGs. The hair thing, anyways. I think that Terra-chan meant sheetwise, not the actual actor slots. Yeah, that is a truth, but they aren't actually the same class...which is more or less what Sash was aiming for. In 2K3, there was actually a character designed in both genders for the assumed class. However, I do see what you're saying.

I originally started in 2k3 but i don't recall different gender pictures. Don't suppose anyone has pictures be interesting to see a side by side of Alex, Arshe, and Ralph.

If you look, you can see that the characters are wearing basically the same costume, but are different genders, leading to the comment about a male and female version of the characters.
was there just one geneeric sprite for them or one for each gender some of those faces would be quite noticible miss matches to sprites, beard/no beard brown/purple hair, etc

You said you use 2k3, right? Well, try looking at your RTP resources... or, if you don't have the files still, try this link: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=RM2k3+RTP+Charset
